Hey guys just wanting some advice on a couple of things. I have a R33 series 1 fitted with jasma/jasm/jasmo (one of them cant read the last letter on the label) extractors which seem to do the job fairly well and came with the car. Now there are 2 problems, i have read about the rasping sound that Rb25's commonly make but it says that it is usually between 2800-3500 rpm, my exhaust sounds perfect at these revs and has a really nice note until about 4000-5000rpm wen a horrible rasping sound erupts from the exhaust any ideas on how to fix this. I was told another muffler would probably completely fix this but i dont want to lose any power from reduced flow or would a muffler do nothing like that?. My 2nd problem is tonight i was driving along and decided to give it a push around in 2nd gear and as i hit about 6500rpm the revs dropped and then regained but no more than a 500rpm drop as if something was slipping and then recatching i then did the same in 3rd and the exact same thing happened any ideas on what this could be? I have already had the fan belt and air con belt replaced as they were a mess wen i got the car so i doubt it would have something to do with that.

Thx for any help.

JASMA isn't a brand, it stands for Japanese Automotive Sports Muffler Association. It's basically a group which approves exhaust components to a standard.

my raspy sound comes on around 4000, but only under full throttle. mufflers have been found to work, depends on which/brand/etc.

slipping clutch? revs would 'free rev' in that case though.

could also be electronic related, injectors, sparkies, coil packs, etc. trouble shoot it and eliminate it one by one.

Without a doubt its a slipping clutch.. especially at those rpm

And about the nasty zorst noise at 6K.. by then your pretty close to redline.. NVCS has well and truely kicked in.. cams are screaming off their chops.. its just a characteristic.. you will hear high comp NA's (like Hondas) screaming HARD and VERY raspy.. its just the sound it makes.. if you want to change the note.. a new muffler will solve your not problem without adding any more restrictions..

Was running a GTR exaust set up and got that raspy sound a lot when I was taching out. Scored a three inch titanium cat back For 40,000 yen and the raspy sound disappeared and was replaced gobs of power and and a very nice note which got really racy as the RPM's increased. As for the over lap you are experience my theory is possible bog from the lack of an LSD. possibly overlap is the wrong term, I experience the loss of power at 4000R's lose about 500R's then it comes back.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
